What else can I do to make the engine run smoother?
« on: 13 March 2013, 17:37 »
Right, it's a 16v. I've changed oil, oil filter, spark plugs, ht leads, dizzy cap, cleaned rotor arm terminals, coil pack, rocker cover gasket, coolant, rad. Car still feels a little lumpy when started cold.

Mines had pretty much the same work done and mines kinda lumpy when cold. I think the next thing to do is clean the TB and then get it re-aligned.?

In my experience of ABF lumps they all tend to be lumpy when cold.
